Counting cards getting the expectation in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme obtain an advantage over the casino.

The reason for this is simple.

Low cards favour the house in twenty-one and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favor the dealer because they aid him acquire winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on his initial two cards).

In casino blackjack, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier cannot.

The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favor the player because they might bust the croupier when she hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.

Although blackjacks are, evenly dispersed between the dealer and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the player has an advantage.

You do not have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the casino.

You only need to know when the deck is flush or poor in high cards and you can up your bet when the edge is in your favour.

This is a simple breakdown of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an understanding into why the logic works.

When wagering on chemin de fer over an extended time card counting will help in tilting the expectation in your favour by approx 2%.
